US LAWMAKER INTRODUCES BILL TO REDESIGN $100 NOTE WITH TRUMP INSTEAD OF FRANKLIN

Tue 04 March 2025:

Republican Rep. Brandon Gill introduced legislation Monday to put US President Donald Trump’s face on a $100 note, replacing Benjamin Franklin.

The bill, titled the Golden Age Act of 2025, is co-sponsored by Rep. Troy Nehls.

“There has been no one who has done more to bring America into the golden age than President Trump.

“Featuring him on the $100 bill is a small way to honor all he will accomplish these next four years,” Gill said in a statement.

Separately, Gill shared Trump’s photograph overlaid on a $100 bill. “Let’s make history,” he wrote on X.

If passed, the legislation “states that the Secretary of Treasury shall release to the public the preliminary design of the $100 note prominently featuring President Trump no later than December 31, 2026.” It would require that all $100 bills after Dec. 31, 2028 have Trump’s photo.

The Obama administration’s plans to replace Jackson’s face with Harriet Tubman’s never materialized after Trump took office for his first term.

The Biden administration resumed the effort in 2021, but it was not completed.

Current U.S. law would also need to be changed to allow for living people to be depicted on currency.
